Bio
Mikael Gnospelius
Bente made us perform far better than we expected! Bente was my project manager during some of my most intense projects at IBM. We were set out to deliver exceptional digital experiences with nearly no time and very few resources, a recipe for failure! But Bente believed in us and created a positive working culture in the team which encouraged us to work hard. She was also great at finding resources with specific skills that made the deliveries possible. The projects were great successes and received rewards from IBM for its client value and innovativeness. Her key strengths are that she is very proactive in her work, good at communicating with many stakeholders, both technical and non-technical people, and great at getting a team to become productive. These projects with Bente were some of my most existing, educational and fun assignments at IBM. I highly recommend her and hope I will get the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

It was wonderful to work with Bente, who was an exceptional Project Manager. Her enthusiastic, optimistic attitude is contagious and serves to motivate and energize her colleagues and bringing out the best in each one. She has superb leadership skills as well as exceptional team-building skills. As a team member or a leader, Bente earns my highest recommendation.

Bente is Meticulous in her approach and planning. Very dedicated and motivated in everything that she participates in. I had the pleasure to work with her when launching a high profile project in Nordics. I am glad that Bente was onboard with her high spirit, to direct us safely at bay, with all the customer, compliance and change request which were inevitable to occur. Wish you all the best .......
